Teaching Style
Saleh’s approach goes well beyond exam preparation. He has developed his own curated materials targeting the highest-yield areas of IB French, with particular strength in:
- Oral exam preparation — mastering literary extract analysis and photo presentation
- Internal Assessment and Extended Essay — examiner-level guidance on what scores top marks
- Comprehensive grammar and vocabulary building — through interactive exercises that build durable language intuition
Critical thinking is woven through every lesson — he treats his own teaching with the same critical eye, continually refining what works.
